Need a break? Of course! We all do. From Barbie™ to extreme weather to an extraordinary Halloween event, there’s something for everyone this fall break. Special exhibits and experiences include:
Barbie™You Can Be Anything™: The Experience (open now)
As the original female empowerment brand, Barbie was created to show girls they have choices. This exhibit encourages girls to explore the possibilities. Learn from real-life female role models like Amelia Earhart, Katherine Johnson, Laurie Hernandez, Florence Nightingale, and Ella Fitzgerald. Children and their grown-ups can explore 11 different careers, including a high-flying pilot, a fearless surfer, a robotics engineer, and a wildlife photographer as they discover what role type best fits their own career interest. It is presented by Subway® and supported by Franklin Pest Solutions and KinderCare Learning Centers.

Wild Weather (open now)
There’s a storm brewing! Discover how to weather the storm as you learn about emerging technologies and recent scientific discoveries that are improving our ability to forecast severe weather and enhance our awareness of global weather phenomena including hurricanes, severe heat, blizzards, and climate change. “Fly” through a hurricane, swirl along a tornado’s path, track turbulent cloud formations, and stand in the midst of a raging winter storm. It is presented by Central Indiana Honda Dealers and supported by Koorsen Fire & Security and Priority Group. Wild Weather is developed and produced by Science North in partnership with the Ontario Science Centre.

Monster MASKarade (Fridays and Saturdays in October)

Monster MASKarade takes place Friday evenings from 6–8 p.m. and Saturday mornings 8–10 a.m. throughout October outside in Riley Children’s Health Sports Legends Experience®. Organized by The Children’s Museum Guild, Monster MASKarade is presented by Old National Bank.
